  2. Farkas' lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkas'_lemma

    In mathematics, Farkas' lemma is a solvability theorem for a finite system of linear inequalities. It was originally proven by the Hungarian mathematician Gyula Farkas . [ 1 ] Farkas' lemma is the key result underpinning the linear programming duality and has played a central role in the development of mathematical optimization (alternatively ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incomplete_proofs

    Manin published a proof in 1963, but Coleman (1990) found and corrected a gap in the proof. In 1973 Britton published a 282-page attempted solution of Burnside's problem. In his proof he assumed the existence of a set of parameters satisfying some inequalities, but Adian pointed out that these inequalities were inconsistent.

  5. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    A linear programming problem seeks to optimize (find a maximum or minimum value) a function (called the objective function) subject to a number of constraints on the variables which, in general, are linear inequalities. [6] The list of constraints is a system of linear inequalities.

  6. Identity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_(mathematics)

    Visual proof of the Pythagorean identity: for any angle , the point (,) = (⁡, ⁡) lies on the unit circle, which satisfies the equation + =.Thus, ⁡ + ⁡ =. In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables ...

  8. Mathematical induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_induction

    It is an important proof technique in set theory, topology and other fields. Proofs by transfinite induction typically distinguish three cases: when n is a minimal element, i.e. there is no element smaller than n; when n has a direct predecessor, i.e. the set of elements which are smaller than n has a largest element;
